I couldn’t hear it, so I downloaded the .mp3, converted to .wav, and ran an FFT to see what was there. Both left and right channels output a 14.993KHz tone (and nothing else within 80db of that).
I would think that whether one can hear this depends quite a bit on the type of speakers used.
Not that I could hear this anyway…my tinnitus is like having a high-pitched tone (think old-time TV set horizontal sweep frequency) playing in your head all the time. It’s loud enough that it masks real sounds anywhere near it’s frequency.
